M2D on Omnia

[TimMun]

Hi There!

I have a question about installing M2D on my Samsung Omnia.
I tried it several times but no luck.
I moved the files from the .rar file to my phone, opened the Opera browser setup file but then the screen just stays white and nothing happens.
What do I have to do?

thanks

sounds like you are making he same mistake I did.

The files you downloaded are cab files, NOT winrar files, windows is lying to you! :)

don't extract the archive in windows, just move the archive to your programs folder, then find it in File Explorer and open it then. It should install automatically.

It only took me 3 days to work that out... I must be a special kind of stupid :)

everyone else who has flashed is calling it a rom happily ae you flashing this to your phone because thats the only way to change the rom

Thanks for the replies guys.
Will try some things.

Will I be able to install this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2277642&postcount=1) on my Omnia?
Looks very nice!

I installed all the .cab files (thanks to "benoki" for that, hehe :D )
and when I'm on the Today screen is says: Touch Here to open TouchFLO.
I do that and nothing happens.
Any ideas?

I'm running a Manila 2D skin on my Omnia, but first I had to install 'SPB Mobile Shell', which is an application that lets you change things (google it, you'll get the company website). SPB mobile shell isn't free, but they do have a trial version to download, and then you can purchase a key if you want, around $30. Its also possible to find not so legal versions on most popular torrent sites, but of course that would be wrong to do. Up to you.
AFAIK, you need this program to run the decent M2D skins, the .cab file that you have is probably made for SPB.

Thanks benoki.
SPB Mobile Shell starts nicely. First downloaded it, but totally worth the money. :)
I will try some Manilla2D skins!

Update: TouchFlo still wont start...

[benoki]

Now that you have SPB mobile shell installed, you won't be using the previous M2D cab you installed. Take it off (the previous M2D), reset, then find yourself Greatbal's latest M2D skin, and drop that .cab file into the SPB folder, and run it.
Reset, and you should be done. you'll see the Today screen, and SPb will be showing on the bottom right of the screen, touch and go :)
